   A Foley catheter can also be used to ripen the cervix during induction of labor. When used for this purpose, the procedure is called extra-amniotic saline infusion . [ 9 ] In this procedure, the balloon is inserted behind the cervical wall and inflated, for example with 30-80 mL of saline. [ 9 ]

3. Obstetric fistula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstetric_fistula

   The Foley catheter is recommended because it has a balloon to hold it in place. The indwelling Foley catheter drains urine from the bladder. This decompresses the bladder wall so that the wounded edges come together and stay together, giving it a greater chance of closing naturally, at least in the smaller fistulae. [citation needed]

   Diagram of a Foley catheter. Foley first described the use of a self-retaining balloon catheter in 1929, to be used to achieve hemostasis after cystoscopic prostatectomy. [2] He worked on development of this design for use as an indwelling urinary catheter, to provide continuous drainage of the bladder, in the 1930s.

   The balloon of the Foley catheter is then inflated with 2 to 3 ml of water to anchor the catheter and occlude the meatus, thus preventing contrast material from leaking out from the penis. Contrast material is then injected from the syringe with fluoroscopy to visualise the flow of contrast within the penis. The catheter is gently pulled to ...

8. Intermittent catheterisation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_catheterisation

   Intermittent catheters come in a variety of designs and differ for males and females, the former longer, the latter shorter. The catheter is inserted into the urethra by the patient or a carer and can either be directed down a toilet or, if measurement of volume is required, into a measuring jug.

9. Bulbocavernosus reflex - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulbocavernosus_reflex

   The test involves monitoring internal/external anal sphincter contraction in response to squeezing the glans penis or clitoris, or tugging on an indwelling Foley catheter. This reflex can also be tested electrophysiologically, by stimulating the penis or vulva and recording from the anal sphincter.
